Change of Seed.

Major Poor, in the american Cultiuator,
says that there is no better time than the
present TO discuss the question of the change
OF seed. Wheat, oats, corn and potatoes
need frequently change of location more
than change to another kind Of seed. Grain
grown in the cold atmosphere and clay soil
of Canada, Northern New York or Vermont
when taken to the warmer soils and atlnos-
phere of the Middle or Western States pro-
duces far more luxuriantly than seed sown
in the same soil for dozen years.
1t is the general remark that wheat is fall
ing and yielding less to the acre every year,
even where new and virgin soil is used
Change Of location is what is wanted.
Nor is it necessary that the change should
be SO great in distance. The transfer of
seed few miles from one variety of soil to
another often makes very perceptible diff
ference. 1t may not be necessary for the
farmer to travel so far but that he may re-
turn home at night and make an exchange
with farmer, and both be equally accom-
modated In some cases it may be done by
letter and the transfer be made by railroads.
Ten or forty cents additional for freight
creased yield. But generally the increase
in quantity is not the main advantage. The
improvement in quality more generally at
tends change of seed. If this matter is at
tended to in time it can be done well and
economically.
There is not enough attention paid to the
question of seed corn. This is the great
staple crop of the country. The difference
each year in the quality of seed reaches in
the result high in the millions. There is
little doubt that the average could be raised
ten bushels if this question was as thor
oughly canvassed by all farmers as it should
be. An advance of ten bushels per acre
would make a difference in the crop of
%, 100000 bushels. All around us we see
corn planted that raises only small and
dwarfed ears, and is persisted in for the
seasons like ours that is an important con-
sideration.
But the energy of farmers, the attention
of agricultural societies and of scientific
experimenters should produce a larger
quality of early corn. Too little attention
in this way has been paid to SO important
crop as corn. Often the large variety of
warmer ATTITUDES is brought here, but an
early frost checks its career. No sufficient
effort has been made to produce early corn
of these large varieties.
More pains and twice the scientific skill
are applied to the efforts to get potato
earlier than the rose or superior to the peach
blow. But in value the potato crop is only
a mite in comparison with corn Mind is
equal to this question if it be directed in Chat
channel

A Staple Plant.

No garden, says the Philadelphia Record,
Is complete without the tomato. 1t is used
now in many different ways and is a superb
vegetable, having almost as many admirers
in its raw state as when cooked. While it
is a sure bearer and does well under adver-
sity, yet the best fruit is obtained when it
is treated somewhat like vine or tree. 1t
is a gross feeder and requires plenty of
nourishinent. The ground should be well
prepared and MANFRED, and the young plant
well fortified, after it begins to grow,
around the base of the trunk. 1t may be
pruned and trained to stakes, and as it will
also grow from cuttings it also quickly pro
vides itself with an abundance of roots.
When putting out the young plants let the
roots 90 in deep. Ii only the tops of the
plants be left out Of the ground it viii be
much better than shallow setting Tie the
vines TO stakes, cut out the laterals If they
be too thick and keep close witch for the
large green worm.

Horse RadiSll,

Horse radish is now profitable crop. 1t
used to be manipulated solely in connection
with roast beef. Now it is used with many
other articles of food. Tons of it are sold
in New York city every year.
Many growers have also learned the art
of grinding and bottling it with white cider
vinegar, which keeps it a nice white color,
and preserves that peculiar pungency which
connoisseurs enjoy.
The culture of the root is simple, demand
ing deep, mellow and very'rich soil, so
that the roots may be grown in one year
large enough for SALE and then plowed out
myriads of sprouts which otherwise would
cover the surface the second year
The yield of horse radish on good land and
in good seasons is sometimes four to six tons
per acre, but often it viii be less than half
these amounts under less favorable circum-
stances 1t is a crop that makes most of its
growth in the latter part of the season,
when it often suffers by drought; it should
therefore have the best of land, or such as
can be irrigated in case of need. 1t is idle
to attempt growing it upon poor or stony
land. Even at the low wholesale price of
about five cents per pound, at which it has
sold lately, it is fairly profitable crop and
would be grown more largely were it not for
the difficulty of eradicating it when once in
the land. 1t is about as hard to kill as couch
grass or Canada thistles, but will yield to
thorough tillage, such as must be given to
cabbages and celery, crops which are usually
made to follow horse radish in rotation.
Upon farms where such crops cannot be
made to follow it would prove troublesome

many oranges as were produced in this sec
ton last season.
ID. j.. PhareS, Yalaha: The orange trees
took on very little bloom, now and then a
tree full, then a good many with but few,
and many with none. am sure that on
the south side of our hike there is not one
fourth of crop Of oranges on the trees and
lately they have been falling.
George H. Mckee, LeeSburg: Speaking in
general terms of this vicinity, the bloom
upon the orange trees was very light and
the set of fruit is correspondingly light.
F. ]. Vogel, Maitland: The orange trees
have bloomed but very sparingly and there
is but very little fruit set. A great many
have fallen off, so that the prospect for the
present crop is not very encouraging.
2. P. Bishop, Citra: The poisoning in
our grove was irregular, in some parts quite
heavy, and i'll others very light. My pres
emit opinion is that we shall have fewer
oranges by 25 per cent. than we had in the
seasons of 1867

SORGHUM SUGAR AND so FORTH.

Col. A. A. Harris, of Fl. Scott in company
| with vice president Richards, of the Missouri
Pacific, made us pleasant call yesterday
morning We asked Colonel Harris, who,
as many of our readers know, is one of Fl.
Scouts leading citizens and capitalists, as to
his opinion Of the Sorghum sugar plant. He
says the problem is solved beyond any ques-
ton and that sugar will hereafter be made
from sorghum just as surely as -four is made
from wheat, and at great profit, both to
the grower of the cane and the manufacturer
When he left home one hundred and fifty
thousand pounds of as fine sugar as the
market can afford. was stored in the Fl.
perimental machinery had been thrown out
and the process was being continually simpli-
fed. Colonel Harris in speaking Of Wichita
said "Oh well. | have always had faith in
the future of Wichita as great
city" in the absence of any serious
rivalry and in such country with such
men as she has at the helm the possibilities
of her growth and Importance can hardly be
estimated AS for his own city he said Fl.
Scott never was so prosperous as she is to-
day, and that the basis of her prosperity
was to be found in her local interests and
enterprises, her coal, her cement, her gas,
etc, etc. Spreading of the sugar business
and its success the EAGLE would suggest
that Wichita being situated as she is in the
very heart of the finest sorghum producing
district kI own the oupOrtunities for a sugar
factory here are most excellent

A YOUNG FORGER

Another young lad seems to have caught
on to the brilliant idea of forging checks for
a living. SO for his enterprise has been
very successful, he having disposed of sew
eral of such orders.

men who had been taken in for small
especially anxious to become rich immedi-
ately but just wants enough money to have
a good time on the best Of fare in the land.
He can't put up with anything of the COM
mon place but must have the semblance OF
the elegant.
As yet no one has attempted to prosecute
him. The amounts have never, as yet,
been over $40. Most Of his checks
call for IS. In the last few days he
has drawn some checks in his Own name on
banks in the city, but the holder of the
checks invariably finds out the young fellow
has no money in the bank,
The gentleman who has been play ing the
game is q well known young man in this city
and always considered honest in his dealings.
He is Of good family and upon, request OF
relatives his name Is not given. Some tina
ago he was given considerable money by his
parents, hoping that he would use il in bust
ness, but instead the gift went the usual
road Of gifts. He took in the town for some
months, putting up for hilarious
